FN 6625 - Corporate Evolution in Venture Capital, Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions


(2)

A selective “seminar” style course, combining the traditional principles of Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship, including tech start-ups, to build a network and create “job readiness” in preparation for a career in one of the aforementioned fields, while providing a comprehensive approach to private company formation, growth and exit from both the “operator” and “dealmaker” perspectives. The course will provide “real-world” application from guest speakers that are not reflected in a textbook, in addition to the application of other critical distinguishing skills such as public speaking, strategic application, critical thinking and problem solving amongst other skills necessary in a professional environment. The course will include an individual project of interviewing or shadowing a current participant in one of the referenced professions with a requirement of presenting findings to the class. All interested students are required to apply and interview to be accepted.

Corequisite: FN 6310  or AC 6110 .
